About

Proven tools and methods to build better ideas.

We work hands-on with the people who own the outcome — facilitating, mentoring and building — rather than handing over a deck and leaving.

Leanovus Consulting helps corporates, independent accelerators and founders develop the capabilities to innovate — and to keep innovating after we leave.

Our approach is practical and measurable. We bring lean startup, business model design, customer development, agile delivery and human-centred design thinking into the rooms where they're needed, and we stay until teams can run them without us. The goal is always the same: better ideas, validated faster, with less wasted spend.

We also work across the emerging-technology edge — cloud, blockchain and distributed ledger, agentic systems, multi-agent AI — helping organisations tell the genuinely strategic apart from the merely fashionable.

The approach

Frameworks refined in the field.

Not borrowed theory — working tools, used with real teams, to make innovation repeatable and measurable.

The Leanovus Framework®

Stages from idea to revenue & growth
Founder /
Idea fit
Start-up

Problem fit
Discover
Problem /
Solution fit

Scale-up

A shared map for where a venture really is — so teams stop building before they've found the fit the next stage depends on.

Experiment · learn · iterate

The build–measure–learn engine
  1. 01
    Problem statement. Define the customer problem and the long-term vision to solve it.
  2. 02
    Leap-of-faith assumptions. Name the hypotheses that must be true for the vision to work.
  3. 03
    MVPs. Build a series of small tests to validate those assumptions.
  4. 04
    Learning metrics. Track leading indicators that actually validate learning.
  5. 05
    Pivot or persevere. Adjust strategy on the evidence — not on opinion.

A balanced innovation portfolio

Three horizons · the 70 / 20 / 10 rule of thumb

Most organisations over-invest in the core and starve the future. We help leadership set the split deliberately — and manage each horizon with the operating model it actually needs.
